I hope everyone had their pyrex wishes come true or at least got a nice new (to you) piece of pyrex gifted to you.

Like many of us of the first pyrex blog, I have not posted anything for a really really long time as I haven't been thrifting in months. Ok settle down. Stop gasping. Yes! Such a thing is possible when (and this is really a legitimate excuse) you have so much pyrex (I believe that I'm over the 400 piece mark) that what is at the thrifts you already own. (I keep track by pattern as a list on my iPhone). Yes there are many pieces that I don't own, but for the time and gas money it takes to go peruse the thrifts, I find that if I need to get my pyrex fix that I end up at antique malls.

The good and the bad at the antique malls: prices are higher, but often there is a selection of pieces which is great if you are trying to complete a set or two. Often this ends up being less expensive than etsy or ebay when you factor for the crazy cost of shipping.

That being said, I've got two bowl sets that I'm close to completing and would be interested in trading pyrex if anyone was interested. I am looking for a snowflake garland 441 to complete a set to gift to a friend, and also a red homestead 443 to complete a set for myself

I've got duplicates of a few pieces and others that I would be ok to let go for a decent trade. Please feel free to get in touch if you are interested in trading. Extra brownie points for you if you happen to live in the san francisco bay area and can do a local trade.
